Top 5 tennis greats who never won the Monte Carlo Masters

#2. Pete Sampras

Like his rival Agassi, Sampras also never crossed the third round of the tournament

Clay has always been Sampras’ weaker surface as he has a win percentage of only 63% compared to the other surfaces where his minimum win percentage is 77%. Sampras appeared in the Monte Carlo Masters a mere four times with the third round in 1998 being the farthest he has ever reached.Sampras was up against his arch-rival Andre Agassi in the second round whom he beat in straight sets to register his first ever win of the Monte Carlo Masters. In the third round, he was up against Frenchman Fabrice Santoro who thrashed him 6-1, 6-1. This would turn out to be the last time Sampras ever appeared in the Monte Carlo Masters.
